With K-shell on Windows the double-quotes are stripped off before before
they ever make it to dblook. So this ends up looking for a table named
LOWER_CASE_QUOTED_WORD, which doesn't exist.

but that's not all--K-shell looks at the space as an argument delimiter
and thus the above command will look for tables named '"lower_case',
'quoted', and 'three_words"'--i.e. won't find any of them.
As a follow-up thought, perhaps you could file an enhancement request so that
instead of printing:
-- The dblook utility will consider only specified tables.
dblook will actually print the table names as it received them from the command
line. Then the user can see what s/he passed in and can perhaps catch cases
where the quotes were misused. I don't know know off-hand how hard that would
be, but perhaps it's worth a Jira...
